Chevrolet and GMC passed along a few photos from the State Fair of Texas this morning. The two brands are currently showing off updates and enhancements for the 2016 lineup.

 

Why the State Fair of Texas? Well, the longhorn state brings in the biggest share of truck sales out of ANY state. Truck buyer and Texan go hand in hand.

 

Thanks to our friends, General Motors Photographers Steve Fecht and Mike Stone, for sending these photos our way.

Yeah that Midnight HD is super sweet. That's about the only new GM truck that I'd leave alone if I bought one, haha. It might be running a 275/70/18 tire...

 

Found it in the order guide...new size for Goodyear:

 

Tires, LT265/70R18E AT aggressive tire tread, black wall, Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac. Aggressive tread may result in a higher level of noise while driving. Routine tire rotations are strongly recommended.

1 - Included and only available with (PDY) Midnight Edition. Aggressive tread may result in a higher level of noise while driving. Routine tire rotations are strongly recommended. Note: Spare tire is (QWF) LT265/70R18E all-season, blackwall tire with (PYT) 18" painted steel wheel.

That Custom HD Z71 though... :drool::drool:

 

Clearly running the AVF 18" wheel but what size tire is that Duratrac? Stock tires are 265/70/18...Unless Goodyear has yet to announce a new tire size...

 

With the massive list of options from GM and from dealers via GM parts, it's hard to call that "custom"

      hello gm-trucks commuinty i’m having issues with a smog readiness monitor not completing. any information on this issue would be greatly appreciated. my truck is a 2001 Chevy Silverado LS 1500 with a 5.3L v8 and it’s 4x2. all the readiness monitors complete except the secondary air system causing the truck to fail smog in california. i’ve heard the air pump turn on at cold starts and even replaced the passenger side check valve. also replaced the solenoid that sends vacuum. everything in the secondary air system seems to be operating properly but the monitor won’t complete. i’ve driven 100s of miles and done countless cold starts but no luck. even the smog referee said the system is working properly and i should just drive the truck more. anyone else experience this issue and what did you have to do to complete the monitor? there are no codes stored currently and the truck runs fine. thank you to anyone that helps

      I have a 2022 trail boss lt that has about 6100 mile on it now. Bought it brand new in may 2022 and it seems like the drivers seat leans to the left towards the door. Almost feels like Im gonna fall out of it and no matter how I adjust it it seems the same. Visually it looks like it sits level and is fine. Is it possible something is broken inside like the frame? I would assume the frame would have to be sturdy. Is there any place that sell a better bottom cushion?

      Hey all,
       
      I have a 2022 Sierra SLT with passive entry locks on the front handles. Does anyone know if I can easily add passive entry locks to the rear handles? Acquiring the actual handles would not be the issue but I'm wondering if there is a harness (or whatever powers the front passive entry buttons) in the rear door to begin with. I know they come standard on Denali, so was thinking GM might just leave the wiring in the door for different trims but not include the passive handles all around. As I type this, though, I'm sure there's programming that needs to be done but figured it was worth a shot - because why not!
       
      Any help is appreciated, thanks!

      or sale are my set of custom painted, OEM Sierra Denali LED Tail Lights. I had these painted to go on my truck and unfortunately they took so long I had to go a different direction before I got them back.. I have since moved up to a 3/4 diesel and am hoping these can find an owner who will appreciate the time, effort, and $$$ that went into creating them!
       
      These OEM LED Tail Lights are selling for $300 - $500 a piece online, and the cost to have these custom painted Mineral Metallic to match the Denali paint + the lens smoked (lightly, not enough to dim them when lit!) was $700 - looking to get $1,000 including shipping. Can cut a better deal if wanting to pick up in person in the Houston, TX area.
       
      Please reach out for additional pictures, questions, etc. I respond much quicker via text (405) 642-9097
       
      Thanks!
